In 1955, Henri Cartier-Bresson published ” The Europeans”, a portrait of the continent documenting a landscape shadowed by the war. In this book, the photographer brings together images spanning the years from the late 1920s to the early 1970s. He has travelled across Europe, from the Scandinavian shield to the Irish bogs, in order to capture what it means to be European. Beyond nationalism & the particular characteristics of each culture & nation, he has found evidence of a greater identity, a likeness shared by the people & the landscape.
